That nonchalantness only applies to the durability factor. They're not
single-speed chains so they will experience lateral forces during
shifts and when run cross-chained. So I'll be more worried about the
things flying apart and me suddenly being able to hit the high notes
than wearing out those c

Well, maybe not literally flying apart, but chain breaks aren't
particularly rare, especially when shifting under load and cross-
chained. It's fairly dangerous too, since the sudden reduction in
normal forces can lead to crashes at inopportune times.
I should clarify that I'm looking at the way t
Wow, what a bargain. Brewster, have you used these 8-speed chains? Are they
good?

Even if they are only one third as good, you can just buy three of them and
call it a wash! ;-)

No, but they're silver and look pretty good. However, if you link removable
links, they call it a Q-link, just make sure to order them at the same
time! I didn't realize the Qlinks were separate and now the cost of 4
replacement is equal to shipping! Its still pretty cheap, but why pay extra
